An Act providing for recall elections in the town of Dalton
Maddy summaryHD 4923 establishes a process for Dalton residents to remove elected town officials through recall elections. Registered voters can initiate a recall by collecting signatures from at least half of the voters who participated in the last annual town election, with valid grounds including felony convictions, repeated absences from meetings, or ethical violations like conflict of interest breaches. A recall election requires a majority vote in favor and at least 80% of registered voters from the last annual election to participate for the recall to take effect. The bill also prohibits recalls during the first six months of an official's term or within six months of the term ending.
